Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. While it is not 'cured' in the traditional sense, prediabetes can often be reversed through lifestyle changes. Here are some effective strategies:

  • Healthy Diet: Focus on whole foods, reduce sugar and refined carbs, and increase fiber intake.
  • Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.
  • Weight Loss: Losing 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve blood sugar levels.
  • Monitoring: Regular check-ups and blood sugar monitoring can help track progress.

With consistent effort, many people can return their blood sugar levels to a normal range and prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
